I do not understand why this is not being accepted.

For part two of the challenge I think they want you to add a new rule, not add on to the existing CSS rules you have set for the class intro.

Keep your code for part 1 of the challenge and then add the second rule separately.

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */ .intro { font-size: 1.25em; line-height: 1.6; }

.intro span { font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; }

Hope this helps. Good luck! Mindy
